This breakthrough has been conducted by Professor Dougu Nam and his research team in the School of Life Sciences at UNIST. Their findings have been published in Nucleic Acids Research on March 19, 2018.
In the study, the research team presented the novel method and software GSA-SNP2 for pathway enrichment analysis of GWAS P-value data. According to the research team, GSA-SNP2 provides high power, decent type I error control and fast computation by incorporating the random set model and SNP-count adjusted gene score.
